Did you replace the transistor. I forget what it's called. The black think that is connected to the side of the intake manifold? What about your CAS? Have you tried another one?

Edit: See if you can find plugs without the "R"

Quoting SleepinGVR4:
Come on someone mention something I haven't tried already.

How bout starting at the begining.
Did this problem come on suddenly ( maybe after a specific mod ) or has it been present for awhile?
Was it better or worse during the summer vs winter?
At what boost level does the break-up start happening or does it never go away?
Do you have a stutter box and if so have you disconnected it for troubleshooting?

Does it matter how long the car has been running? Does it happen just after you put fresh gas in the tank out of a tank that's been in the ground?

Check the filter sock on the bottom of the fuel pump. I'd even try removing it for a pull or two.

I'm goin to try a new transistor next. And no I haven't tried another CAS yet.

Boost level doesn't matter its at high rpms. Yes I have a stutter box and no I haven't disconnected it. I don't know why I would have to.

I just had my fuel pump out to replace the line between the pump and the bottom of the sending unit. The sock looked clean.

My issue turned out to be more than just regapping the plugs. They were already gapped to .018. I threw some NGK Iridium in there, gapped them .018, took a little bit of fuel where it was blowing out, and its good.

Good luck.

What does a stutter box do? Answer that and then re-ask the same question.
Guess you don't want or need my help, smart off to someone else who has more time.

Sean, we can toss on my black top CAS and transistor this coming week if you want. I want to reset my base timing (advance it a little) anyway.
